Hard drive serial Numbers.
 

Is there a command to list the hard drive serial numbers for the OS drives and an array? This is usefull for organizations who track serial numbers.

hdparm, sdparm, gsmartctl, smartctl

I cant remember the exact syntax, but you can use the smartctl command.

I checked the man page and it looks like the command is:

I didnt test it though, you may want to read over the man page to make sure the syntax is good.

Try
 

You can try: Then run That will give all kinds of info about the hardware

Hope this helps :twocents:

Oh yea, you can also just run the dmidecode command.

@Kustom42 dmidecode does not provide the info.
@etech3, lshw is overkill
while the ones suggested by me are more specific.

Funny, it shows the serial number on my system when I run it..

I think it may be showing my serial number due to it being a VM? I don't ever check for this info so I'm just trying to clarify here...

Your bios must be reporting more, so dmidecode must be reporting that way. It does not scan h/w.

I edited my reply, I did mistake. Rather than serial no. I answered for UUID

For this Answer is

sdparm /dev/sdX

or

ls /dev/disk/by-id

Irrelevant. Read before posting.
